Answer:
Parts of speech are the category of words that have same or similar grammatical properties. There are 8 parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction and interjection.
Complete answer:
The part of speech to which a word belongs guides its uses in a sentence and explains the correct word order and punctuation. Knowing the role of the part of speech in how each word in a sentence structure clearly helps to understand the meaning of the sentence and to construct them properly.
The meaning of about is showing concern or regarding the subject of. Basically, about is a preposition and an adverb. For example: I was thinking about you (here about acts as a preposition) and There was a lot of flu about (here about acts as an adverb). So, we have to according to the sentence which part of speech ‘about’ lies in.
Option A) Adverb - is an incorrect answer because adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb or other verbs expressing a relation of time, place, circumstances, manner, cause, degree etc. For example: well, quickly, softly etc. And ‘about’ is not an adverb because it does not explain more about any verb, adjective or another verb. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option B) Adjective - is an incorrect answer because an adjective is defined as a word that gives the attribute of a noun. For example: sweet, red, fair and etc. Thus, about in the sentence does not explain or describe the noun ‘the street’. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
Option C) Preposition - is the correct answer because a preposition is a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase or a pronoun and they are connecting it to another word. For example, 'A cat is sitting on the chair.' Here, 'On' is a preposition used before the noun 'the chair’ to explain the position of the cat. However, here ‘about’ acts as a proposition because it means ‘on the subject of’ or ‘concerned with’ the street. Here, it is a committee. Thus, this is the correct option.
Option D) Verb - is an incorrect answer because verbs are used to describe an action, state of being or occurrence or the condition and they form a main part of the predicate of the sentence. For example: Risha walks in the garden. Word ‘about’ used in the sentence does not act as a verb because ‘about’ is not a verb and it does not explain the state of being on the subject. Thus, this is an incorrect answer.
